86. Gryllus bimaculatus De Geer, 1773 = dvopjegi šturak

First faunistic record for Croatia: Graber 1870

Also reported as: Gryllus capensis (Fabricius, 1775) ( Graber 1870)

Distribution in Croatia: Recorded in Dalmatia (Karin, Vodice, Šibenik, Primošten, Kaštel Sućurac, Stobreč, Postira on Brač Isl.: Skejo VI–IX.2016) and Dubrovnik region (Zaton: Skejo 2.VIII.2016) with adjacent islands. Probably has much broader distribution than previously thought, and was possibly often mistaken for G. campestris . There is a single historical record of this species in the Pannonian region (Vinkovci; Graber 1870).

Distribution in Europe: Widespread in the Mediterranean, reaching Croatia in the north and Southern Ukraine in the northeast ( Hochkirch et al. 2016).
